You will need internet access and, in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations, regularly seek out and accept all firmware or software updates offered by the manufacturer. All GPS devices need to ‘see’ the satellites in the sky. Therefore you will need to know that your vehicle does not have glass that will block or impede the GPS signal.
Updates to this product are via the internet. At this product page we state compatibility with specific versions of current internet connection devices, for example: PC, laptop, MAC, smartphone etc. The Consumer Contract Regulations allow you 14 days, from receipt of purchase, to check compatibility with your internet connection device/s. If you choose to replace or update your PC, MAC etc. neither we nor the manufacturer will be responsible if the new/replacement Operating System (OS) is not compatible with the purchased product.
Question: I would like to update my zumo 550 sat nav for the motorbike. At present Garmin Express when connected, always comes back no updates? So my question is do you post out a sd card or micro card with the maps on?
Answer:Garmin Express provides software and firmware updates for your Garmin zumo 550. It does not provide new/updated maps. Purchase the latest and comprehensive range of maps for your Garmin zumo 550.
Question: Would like to purchase the up-to-date map for UK for my garmin zumo 550?
Answer: You can purchase the very latest Garmin City Navigator (street-level road) maps of UK and Ireland for your Garmin zumo 550 online from our website.
Question: I have been bought a Garmin Zumo 550 sat nav, with no attachments whatsoever, I need a compatible handlebar mount, a power lead for the bike and a means of connecting it to the computer for map updates. Please advise exactly what accessories I need.
Answer: To mount and power your Garmin zumo 550 on a motorbike you will need:
1. Motorcycle Mounting Bracket
2. RAM Motorcycle Mounting Kit
To use the Garmin zumo 550 with your computer you will need:
Follow up question: Thank you for the information, but I am still puzzled, There is no socket on the Zumo 550 for either a mini or Micro USB cable. There is only the multipoint connector on the bottom and a small power socket. Where does the USB connector connect.
Subsequent answer: The zumo 550 uses a mini USB cable the cable plugs into the underneath of the zumo 550. You need to open the hatch to reveal it. Please page 7 of the zumo 500/550 PDF manual.
Question: ZUMO 55O, DO YOU HAVE SPEED CAMERA DOWNLOADS FOR THIS MODEL AND WHAT PRICE PLEASE.
Answer: Whilst we sell the latest maps for the Garmin zumo 550. Only Garmin sell downloads such as POI databases including speed cameras.
Question: Very interested in your Garmin SD card (plug n play) map updates. Can you tell me if your full size SD card will override my existing mapping (a bit of a mess), without resorting to visiting the Garmin website (a minefield), my device was purchased 2006, it is a Zumo 550 Atlantic in perfect condition. As I say, the Garmin website is a nightmare for me, and I have been unable to achieve any result.
Answer: I presume you are referring to Garmin City Navigator NT Maps of UK and Ireland microSD/SD card?
These maps, like others that we sell are preloaded on SD card which is then inserted into the zumo 550 SD slot card. The mapping isn't actually transferred to your zumo 550, rather the map data is drawn by and displayed on your zumo 550 motorcycle sat nav.
While the mapping on SD card is plug-and-plug and technically a PC isn't required to install these maps. You will need to ensure you have the very latest firmware update on your zumo 550 (available for free from Garmin's website as a download), this will ensure the maps are successfully read by your zumo 550 sat nav.
Question: The on/off rubber button on my Garmin Zumo 550 has perished; is there a replacement available, please?
Answer: For a repair of this nature you will need to contact Garmin UK.
